        A new extraction of unpolarized TMDs through global fits * 20m

        In this talk we present the most recent extraction of unpolarized transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions (PDFs) and TMD fragmentation functions (FFs) from global data sets of Semi-Inclusive Deep-Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS), Drell-Yan and Z boson production. The fit is performed at the N3LL logarithmic accuracy in the resummation of qT-logarithms and features flexible non-perturbative functions, which allow to reach a very good agreement between theory and the experimental data. In particular, we address the tension between the low-energy SIDIS data and the theory predictions.

        Study of TMDs in DIS single-jet production * 20m

        In this talk we present the necessary formalism to study the Deep Inelastic Scattering with the production of an hadronic jet. More precisely we focus the factorization of the cross section as convolution of TMD PDF and the Jet TMD-FF, which is the function that we have calculated at NLO. Moreover we present some phenomenological predictions at N2LL for the EIC kinematic regions.

        The role of TMD Fragmentation Functions in SIDIS phenomenology 20m

        The factorization of Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD)
        observables plays a central role in modern studies on strong interactions, as it represents one of the most elegant and powerful approaches for the investigation of the 3D structure of hadrons. In particular, SIDIS cross sections cannot leave aside from a contribution associated with the nucleon structure and a contribution associated with the mechanism of hadronization, identified with a TMD Parton Distribution Function and a TMD Fragmentation Function, respectively. A reliable extraction of the
        former requires a detailed knowledge of the latter. In this regard, it is crucial to supplement SIDIS studies with phenomenological analyses of processes in which a single TMD FF is accessed, as in single inclusive $e^+e^-$ annihilation (SIA). In this talk, I will review the factorization properties of this observable, in the case where the transverse momentum of the detected hadron is measured with respect to the thrust axis. I will show how to properly extend the standard TMD factorization to such observable, allowing for global phenomenological studies of TMD physics in which SIDIS and SIA data can be combined together.

        NLO corrections to quarkonium photoproduction at the EIC * 20m

        In the talk we discuss NLO QCD corrections to total inclusive J/ψ and Υ photoproduction cross sections in lepton-proton collisions at the EIC, where the resulting cross sections
        obtained in the MS factorisation scheme are sometimes found to be negative. It is shown that the scale-fixing criteria which was derived in a previous study of ηc production successfully
        solves this problem from the EicC all the way up to the FCC-eh energies. We also discuss where both J/ψ and Υ photoproduction could be used to improve our knowledge of gluon content of the proton at scales as low as a couple of GeV.

        Studying e-D scattering at EIC 20m

        A new approach for studying the structure of hadrons and nuclei with arbitrary spin is presented, the spin-1 case is shown in detail. As a proof of principle, we apply this method to the description of elastic electron-deuteron scattering. The result of calculations within Instant and Light-Front forms of dynamics is presented for the vector and axial electromagnetic form factors together with potential extensions of the formalism to hard exclusive processes on the deuteron.

        Simulation and instrumentation for the Roman Pot in the future Electron-Ion Collider * 20m

        In order to study the internal structure of nucleons and nuclei and address some important outstanding questions in nuclear physics, a new Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is planned to be built at Brookhaven National Lab (NY, USA). The EIC will collide a high energy proton/ion beam with a high energy electron beam. High performance detectors will be used to detect the particles created in the collisions. Detailed simulations and instrumentation developments of Roman Pot are still required and that will soon start to be constructed.

        Luminosity Measurements for the Electron Ion Collider * 20m

        The future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) aims at precise measurements of electron-hadron cross sections and for this an accurate measurement of its luminosity is required. The luminosity detector at the EIC is inspired by the ZEUS experiment at HERA, measuring the bremsstrahlung photons from electron-hadron collisions. Improvements to the older (baseline) ZEUS detector design are investigated. Three detector designs have been proposed and are simulated in Geant4. Comparisons of the sampling fraction of the calorimeters for each design will be shown.

        SMEFT projections of neutral-current PVDIS asymmetries at the EIC * 20m

        The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics lies at the foundation of our current understanding of all experimental phenomena. Despite the huge success of this theory, it contains poorly understood features. In an attempt to account for these issues, various models beyond the SM (BSM) have been considered. The SM effective field theory (SMEFT) is a useful tool to parametrize BSM effects since there has been no conclusive evidence for new particles beyond the anticipated spectrum. In the SMEFT framework, one builds higher-dimensional operators using the existing SM fields and introduces Wilson coefficients as effective couplings. In this study, we restrict our attention to dimension-6 semi-leptonic four-fermion operators and investigate how neutral-current parity-violating deep-inelastic-scattering asymmetries at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) can probe these possible BSM effects. Our analysis shows that the EIC can offer probes competitive with the ones coming from LHC Drell-Yan data, simultaneously resolving degeneracies observed in neutral-current Drell-Yan measurements. Constraints on the semi-leptonic four-fermion Wilson coefficients become significantly stronger with a 10-fold luminosity upgrade. The EIC, designed as a QCD machine, promises strong potential as a probe of BSM physics, complementary to the LHC.

        Jet production at EIC * 20m

        The production of jets has been an active research topic in QCD in recent years. In this talk, we provide the general theoretical framework on several interesting observables related to jet production in ep collisions — the azimuthal anisotropy, jet shape and jet functions. With numerical results for EIC kinematics presented, we show that these are promising observables for studying lepton-jet correlations in the future EIC experiments.
